Calling NSDictionary with NSArray KeyValue issue - ios

Question

I have an array that loaded with data from other method. The data type is like that in the debug for KEYS as in the code.
<__NSArrayI 0x9e82fc0>(
{
"choice_name" = "Data0";
},
{
"choice_name" = "Data1";
},
{
"choice_name" = "Data2";
},
Then I have called it twice in different method as I commented below and I get the value of the arrray: array0 or array1 nil. Where would be my problem?
- (void)requestPosistion:(ASIFormDataRequest *)request{
NSData *responseData = [request responseData];
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *result = [jsonString JSONValue];
[jsonString release];
if (![SettingVO isValidResponce:result]) return;
CXMLDocument *doc = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithXMLString:[result objectForKey:#"Response"] options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
NSArray *nodes = [doc nodesForXPath:#"/root" error:nil];
NSLog(#"choiceList is %#", nodes);
if([[[[nodes objectAtIndex:0] attributeForName:#"success"] stringValue] isEqualToString:#"true"])
{
NSArray *nodes3 = NULL;
nodes3 = [doc nodesForXPath:#"/root/cl_choicelist/cl_choice" error:nil];
NSLog(#"node3%#", nodes3);
res = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (CXMLElement *node in nodes3) {
item = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
int counter;
for(counter = 0; counter < [node childCount]; counter++) {
[item setObject:[[node childAtIndex:counter] stringValue] forKey:[[node childAtIndex:counter] name]];
}
[item setObject:[[node attributeForName:#"choice_name"] stringValue] forKey:#"choice_name"];
NSLog(#"item %#", item);
[res addObject:item];
[item release];
}
NSLog(#"res %#", res);
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSDictionary *plistDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:res forKeys:res];
//NSArray *keys = [plistDict allKeys];
//NSArray *array0 = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[plistDict valueForKey:#"choice_name"]]; //array0 = nil.
NSArray *array1 = [plistDict objectForKey:#"choice_name"]; //array1 = nil.

Answer 1

Working code looks like that:
[[res objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"choice_name"] //returns Data0
[[res objectAtIndex:1] objectForKey:#"choice_name"] //returns Data1
Most probably you want to use "indexPath" at objectAtIndex:
[[res objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]] objectForKey:#"choice_name"]

Answer 2

<__NSArrayI 0x9e82fc0>( { "choice_name" = "Data0"; }, { "choice_name" = "Data1"; }, { "choice_name" = "Data2"; },
This is an array. Inside the array you have object of NSDictionary with key "choice_name".
So in order to retrieve you need to iterate through the array to get all the kvp.

Answer 3

Replace your line with:
NSString *str = [plistDict valueForKey:#"choice_name"];
You have string for that key nor array.
Is always good to make sure your plistDict is not nil.

Answer 4

In NSDictionary you can have onelly one pair with key #choice_name. Even if you "put" more then one in NSDictionary, all other will just override previous value.
so valueForKey can return onelly one object and not the whole array, because there is onelly one key #choice_name.
